You don't often get email from jregensburger at library.ohio.gov. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>

I guess I should have asked if it’s OK to be snarky on this list before I replied.

This was just issued today from IMLS: https://www.imls.gov/news/statement-agencys-reinstatement-terminated-imls-grants

"Statement of Agency’s Reinstatement of Terminated IMLS Grants

Washington, DC– Upon further review, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has reinstated all federal grants. This action supersedes any prior notices which may have been received related to grant termination.

Grantees should access the agency's electronic grants management system for further information."

Subject: [lstac] Laura Bush Grant - reinstated

Hey all!

After months of waiting and lots of paperwork/appeals, our Laura Bush grant was reinstated.

I am cautiously hopeful that we will be able to move forward with the project.

I hope other state libraries were able to get their grants reinstated as well!

Best regards,
